In short: OK, but nowt special
In full: Bit elitist for my taste and the fact that the leaders lapped those to the rear was a litle poor. Lack of any water other than at the end, in that heat, was also dissapointing.

In short: Great day out, gets better and better
In full: 4th time now and gets better and better. Best goody bag received in ages, and end along the prom always presents the best of finishes, whatever the wheather, which this year was hot hot hot!

In short: An excellent run in the morning sun!
In full: 2nd year running this one, and again, well organised, friendly race.

Only down side was the nice rural finish into Hale village being spoiled as runners were forced to group on the finish line as the filter system back up. Other than that, great race, and many thanks

In short: Good, flat course, mainly free of traffic. A pleasant run in the spring sun
In full: Good course, relatively flat. A but elitist for my taste with some serious looking runners upfront. Only criticism, was having the start straight across the entry to the main parking - a littly messy.

In short: Wet!!!
In full: Good race in torrential rain. Muddy in parts, offering a different kind of challenge from normal. Very well done and many thanks to all the marshals, whose enthusiasm and support never wavered despite the conditions.
